The Veteran Clown.

l wandered to the circus, Tom, l
sat beneath the tent; | saw the hui
man serpent in his wild, contortious
bent; l saw the clown who roamed
around with eyes that streamed in
woe. He sprung the same old gags
he used some twenty years ago. The
living skeleton was there who weighed
some forty pounds; the royal
Bengal tigers crouched and ut
tered doleful sounds; Circassian girls
who came from Cork and let their
tresses grow, and sold their photos
Just the same as twenty years ago.
Then spawned horses galloped round
the beaten sawdust tracks and spa
vined riders changed their cloths
while standing ON their backs; the
horses made as big splurge and
travelled just as slow, as in the shows
we used to see some twenty wears ago.
The girl who fooled with sleepy
snakes, the girl with snowy hair, the
spotted men, and women fat and II
ants tall were there. The hungry
lion walked his cage and tried to look
as though he hadn't done the same
old thing some twenty years ago. some
war-like brave came ont anu howlett
and sang q battle song-they sang
80 badly that [ reached and
struck my chestnut gong - and
tlaen they chased some cowboys
round, as per the wild west show, and
charged the same old coach they
charged some twenty years ago. Eve

Mis- Search for '.he Missing Funds
for the we Asting Journey.
Curious see res in railroad travel
where the act ars are anewly married
couple are frequently met with, but
one took Ilsce ON the Southern eX-
press that left Jersey City this morn
ing wEira is somewhat out oil the
usual course OF events. When the
train drew up at Newark a man ana
woman, evidently newly married
nair. cot out on the train for Philadel-
phia. All of the other cars being
ful. the couple had to find seats III
the smoking car, where they COM
fortably settled themselves al
ter putting carpet. pas anu anu
several packages in the rack
overhead. The bridegroom then pe-
gan to give her his earnest ana unul-
yided attention to making the trip as
| pleasant as possible. The man was
dressed in q pair of trousers OF the
bedtick order with coat and waistcoat
of pea green hue. From his waist
coat dangled large and massive
watch chain and around his neck was
bandana handkerchief, tied IN a
knot. Nothing was wanted 10 con-
| plete his toilet but collar, ana 1llis
was missing. The girl was dressed
in a calico gown and large hat with
peacock feathers in it, set sauciiy on
her head. -,
After the train had gotten well
under way several passengers noticed
the peculiar actions OF the man. HIS
face was flushed, his eyes snapped
fire, and it was evident that some
trouble had befallen the pair. The
man suddenly arose and began to
take off his coat and waistcoat. Then
| he pulled down his suspenders ana
was in the act of removing his trou-
sers when q passenger called the at
tention of a brakeman to his conduct.
Before the conductor could be sum-
moned he drew revolver and COM
menced to emphasize his remarks
to his spouse by tiourishing it in her
face.
Bv this time the other occu-
pants of the car became very
nervous and began to edge toward the
door. The conductor finally succeeded
in persuading the groom to subside
and put up his pistol. The cause OF
all the trouble was the displacement
of the finances for the bridal tour.
Things looked quite serious for time,
and rather discouraging for the trip.
At last the conductor suggested that
the pocket of his linen duster, which
had been overlooked, be searched,
and there was found the cause OF the
unpleasant episode. fhe groom was
then seized with q sudden paroxysm
OF delight, and, throwing his arms
around the girls neck, began to kiss
and hug her vigorously. He then pro-
duced a black bottle and invited the
passengers to take whack with him
to celebrate his good ne.--lN. Y.

The Natchez Democrat, of date Sept.
2Sth, says: ave are gratified to hear
that we were mistaken on Sunday
morning in announcing the result of
the late railroad election in Catalonia
parish, but we gave the information
as it was impaired to US. We are
since informed that the vote, both in
number and property, was favorable
to the Louisiana and Arkansas rail
road. The following figures have
been given to us as official: For the
subscription 1908 votes; property val
uation s4l4,ooo; against the sub
scription, $50 votes; property valua-
ton $4,000. There is some talk of
contesting the election, but the gen.
ileman who gave US the above infor-
nation doesn't anticipate that the mat
ter will be carried into the courts.

YOUNG CHICKENS COMING HOME
TO ROOST.
(Capitolian-Advocate.)


The reform campaigners, from Gen.
Nichols down, at every meeting, have
raised the cry of personalism against
Gov. McEnery, and they have signal
ly failed to substantiate the complaint
Unfortunately for the reformers, the
discussion of this topic has revived a
number of acts ofpersonalism perform
ed by Gov. Nichols, which admit Of
no denial, and the chickens Of person
alism are now flocking back to the
reform roost. In its issue of the goth
inst, the States sets up the following
full-feathored specimens, to which We
call the special attention of our read
ers, viz -
Under the Constitution of 1868 the
Governor was the sole dispenser of
clemency. The right to pardon con-
victs was lodged exclusively with him
subject only to the approval Of the
Senate. In 1875 Gen. Nichols was a
practicing attorney -at-law in Assem-
sion. In the month Of June of that
year one Felix Grow was tried for
manslaughter before the Fourth Judi
cial District Court. Gen. Nichols
was his counsel and defended him to
the best of his great abilities and
spared no honorable effort to clear
him. Grow was nevertheless convict
ed and sentenced to seven years hard
labor in the penitentiary. In 1877 the
lawyer and counsel of Grow was Gov
ernor of the State. TO him Grow ad-
dressed a petition for mercy. The
Governor granted pardon and sent a
message to the Senate, from which
we qaote:
GAS showns by accompanying petition
Felix Grow was tried and convicted at
term of the honorable the Fourth Judi
cial District Court held in the Parish of
Ascension in the month of June, 1875, of
the crime of manslanghter and for said
crime he was sentenced to seven years
imprisonment, at hard labor, in the Lou
isiana penitentiary at Baton Ronge.
acas the counsel for this person, and know
the facts of the case. The evidence did
not justify the verdict of the jury which
convicted him, nor the sentence Of the
court. Being of opinion that this is also
a case of executive clemency, with the
concurrence ofyour honorable body will
grant him full pardon.
Respectfully,
francis i. NICHOLS,
Governor Of Louisiana.
The Senate concurred in the par
don, with the exception of the mega
tive votes of Senators II. L. Garland,
of St. Landry, E. d. White and F. G.
Zacharie, of Orleans. We have heard
a great deal lately Of personalism in
government, but, if in the whole
course of McEnery's administration, so
fragrant an example of unmitigated
autocratism can be shown, or indeed
in the administration of any Governor
in any State in our Union, we should
like to have it made known, else we
shall proceed in our reluctant task of
investing Governor Nichols with the
"belt" for originality and singularity
in thus directly, as Governor, con.
demning court of justice and a jury
for that which they had done to him
as attorney-at-law.
